Information and International Exchange

Building on the achievements of our research and analysis, we
facilitate interactions with officials and intellectuals in
international institutions, government ministries, central banks
and academia at home and abroad. For this purpose, we hold
meetings of study groups, forums and seminars to discuss timely
current topics, promote information exchange and make policy
recommendations.

International Financial Symposiums are one of the biggest annual
events to which we invite distinguished intellectuals from home
and abroad to discuss the crucial global issues from international
perspectives. These symposiums are open to the public and are
free of charge. The contents of the symposium are compiled in the
Occasional Papers series which are featured on the IIMA website
and can be accessed at any time by anyone.

We accept visiting researchers and foreign students from other
institutions in and outside of the country to promote
communications and friendship with the people in the rest of the
world and facilitate their better understanding of the Japanese
economy. We also actively participate in international meetings
and forums held abroad.
